Thank You Mr. Postman

I thought I would have a lot more time for hobby this week than I actually did.  My wife had meetings after school a few days this week and I had meetings on the days she didn't.  Since my wife and I work at the same school, I don't leave until she does and vice versa.  It all added up to a shortage of free time in the evenings.

Luckily, the postman made me feel happy on two separate occasions this week.  First, I received my first ever reward from a Kickstarter project I backed.  It wasn't the first project I backed, but it's the first reward I've received.  I got my Dice Vault from Wyrmwood Gaming.  It turns out to be a beautiful dark walnut dice case with magnets at either end to keep the lid on.  It is completely frivolous, but good for the gamer's soul.

Yesterday, I got home late, but there was a present for me from the postman.  I had bought myself an airbrush a few months ago and have been slowly toying with it.  I decided I wanted to start using it in earnest.  The problem for me is the lack of a local seller of paints that are appropriate for use in the airbrush.  Our local store only sells Citadel paints and really hasn't restocked those in quite some time.  So, I took matters into my own hands and bought a case of 72 Vallejo Model Air colours.  I had a few VMA paints that I liked using a lot, both in the airbrush and hand brushing, so I went all in.  I had Meeplemart special order them in and they got sent out right away.

Now, if I can only find some time this weekend to use my new treasures for gaming and hobbying I will be in a happy place.
